They're having fun with their clothes, and college is really the only place where short short skirts are anywhere near being age appropriate.

Besides, when minis were popular in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, there were still way more women trying them than the ones that actually looked good in them. We just have a selective memory OR inflated enough egos to think we pulled them off ourselves.

I mean, I kindof always dressed like a frigid bitch so my current style is pretty in line with that, but every once in a while I'd wear short shorts or a mini skirt and I would have worn them a lot more often had I been more confident. When my bust size was smaller I intentionally showed a lot more cleavage, too. It's just the way a lot of women are when they're in their late teens/early 20s and I really don't think there's anything wrong with it, especially if it's not something they're wearing to say, job interviews, or something.
It's not body shaming. It's wearing what looks best on you. For example...I'm tall. I looked ridiculous when I tried to "peg" my jeans - as if I was waiting for a flood. So even when it was the biggest thing around, I didn't do it. I had enough sense by then (early 20s) to know what looked good and what didn't. Following the pack blindly is for junior high and high school, not college. If you're in college and have a group of friends that makes you feel that you have to dress a certain way, well, maybe it's time to find new friends.

And yeah, I had some sisters who were far from slim who wore mini skirts. BUT. They wore minis that 1) were in heavier fabrics and didn't show every lump and roll and 2) that were length appropriate. They also wore hose or tights and didn't have their Bensons hanging out.

This ho-style is KK and her ilk + remainder backlash from the grunge era which took about 5 years longer to go away than it should have. I think it's already starting to turn around. The last time I went into Delia's, the shirts and stuff seemed a LOT more conservative than what's been in the stores in previous years. You can look sexy, cute and young without putting it all out on display.
